Hardware Burglary Arrest Made

A check from the City of
Port St. Joe to the Gulf
SCounty Building. Depart-
: ment, in the amount of
S$920.00, was returned, un-
cashed, by building inspector
; Dewayne Manuel earlier this
m ronth. Tuesday night, the
City had a bill from Manuel
for the $920,00, saying the
money was owed to him, and
not the county building de-
partment.
9i Manuel was approached by
Wthe City Commission to do
I building inspection work in-
side the city after the de th
|of E. F. Gunn, who was'
Formerly Port St. Joe's in-
spector.
The City received a bill'
.', from Manuel for the $920.00
in fees owed him, for his
', services and the City sent a
-' check for the money, payable
Sto the Gulf County Building
P Department.
Manuel returned the check
un-cashed.
Manuel told The Star, "I
sent the check back because
Sit was made out wrong. The
City owed me the $920.00; not
the Gulf County Building
Department. I am a contrac-
; tor serving Gulf County.
They give me so much money
each year to operate their
. building department".
There is really no contro-
.versy between Manuel and
the City Commission, "I told
them when they approached
me, I would do their work for
'them until they could get an
agreenmnt with the County
Commission for my depart-
ment to work under if they
wished to used our services",
he said
Since that time, the City
has turned down a working
agreement to utilize the
county's inspection depart-
m nt and has hired its own
in pector, Scott Stanley of
1 dian Pass.
She city turned down the
county's offer because the
'c jnty inspection rates are
hi her than the city's.
ilanuel said that when the
ci y returns their check, it
should be made out to him,
individually, for his services,

and everything will be fine.
Tuesday night, the Com-
mission decided not to send
the check back until they get
a clarification of the situa-
tion under which, Manuel
worked for the city for that
short period of time..
ADOPT ORDINANCE
An oidinanc.e, read for
final approval Tuesday night
andadopted, makes it unlaw-
ful to consume alcoholic
beverages on city streets or
sidewalks. The ordinance
becomes effective immed-
iately and can be the vehicle
to control a growing problem.
in north Port St. Joe, accord-'
ing to its sponsor, Nathan
Peters, Jr. : .
The Commission also ap-
proved Resolution number'
546, which establishes -a
personnel manual for' all
employees of the city. The
manual makes only one

change from the rules which
have governed city hiring in
the, past'. Under the new
rules, city policemen are
stipulated as salaried person-
nel, which carries a different
work responsibility from
hourly paid personnel.
Police patrolmen are not
eligible for extra holiday pay
under the new rules. This
question was what prompted
a spelling out of the work
rules in the first place:
Policemen are paid the same
salary every week, regard-
less of whether they are off
on a holiday, or if they work
on a holiday. Commissioner
Nathan Peters- thought the
police officers should be paid
j'extra for holidays whether
they worked or not.'
i OTHER BUSINESS
-. In other business matters,
the Commission:
-Agreed to advertise for a
variance for Charles Tharpe

who was asking the side
limits be relaxed on the north
side of his lot on Cypress
Avenue, which would allow
him to face his home in the
same direction as other
homes on the street.
-Approved a zoning var-
iance for Rawlis Leslie, who
is planning to build several
multi-family dwellings on a
block in north Port St. Joe,
formerly owned by the city.
Leslie asked for encroach-
ment variances of various
distances 'along the edge of
the property to allow him to
place the buildings on the
property to a better advan-
tage.
-Set rules and regulations
for making cross connections

Gulf County Sheriff Al
Harrison personally investi-
gated and arrested one sus-
pect in the St. Joe Hardware
burglary of about 10 days
ago, according to Chief Dep-
uty Mike'White.
White said Sheriff Harrison
was personally following up
on some leads 'and arrested
John Charles Boykin, 23, with
participating in the theft and
lodging him in he Gulf
County jail under a ge of
burglary and grand theit.
White said that investiga-
tion .iito- the case by the
Sheriff's Department and
Port St. Joe's Police Depart-

one suspect, but that only
Boykin had been apprehend-
ed atthis time.
The Hardware, store was
hit by burglars Saturday,
March 8, after the store had
closed for the week end.
Indications are that the burg-
lars hid in the store when it
was closed and left by a side
door. The burglars cleaned
out the safe of money and
checks.
White said that in addition
to Boykin's arrest, about a
third of the money taken was
,also recovered.
Boykin has already been in
prison twice on similar char-
ges, according to White. He is
being held on a $1,000 bond,

Getting Close to Heaven In

Project to Replace Steeple
Workmen are shown in the photo above replacing the steeple of the First Baptist
Church on Baltzell Avenue Tuesday of this week. The old steeple of the church was
damaged and partially blown off the church by Hurricane Kate last November.
A crew from Southern Erectors of Pensacola, used a huge crane to hoist the
workman up on the steeple Tuesday to remove the damaged steel panels from the old
one and was to have lifted the new steeple in place yesterday.
The new steeple is of steel construction with a baked on finish for low maintenance.
The old steeple had been in place ever since the church was built more than 20 years
ago. -Star photo

Band Earns Superior In Contest

The Port St. Joe High
School Band of Gold received
a superior rating this past
Saturday at the District
Concert Band Festival in
Panama City. Superior is the

highest rating a band can
receive.
At the district festival,
each band performs three
selections and is evaluated
by a panel of three judges.

These judges rate the quality
of the performance and give
suggestions for improve-
ment. A superior rating also
means the band is eligible for
the state concert band festi-

val.
This makes the first time in
seven years that the Band of
Gold has earned this honor.

Highway 98 will have traffic routed
down Avenue A 'to Highway 71 for a
three-day period next week, while work is in
progress re-building the railroad crossing
which goes into the St. Joe Paper Company
mill at the Container Division entrance.
The Florida Department of Transporta-
tion and th, Apalachicola Northern Rail-
road are working on the crossing as a joint
project. ANRR Superintendent, Wayne
Parrish said this week, "Our people will be
doing the work, but the DOT will be paying
for the materials which go into the project".
The crossing shoulders will be con-

structed from rubber mats, which have
proven very effective in this area for
smoothing out the rough crossings.
Parrish said Highway 98 will be cut and
re-routed from 8:00 a.m., Tuesday, March
25 through Thursday, March 27. The
highway will be closed for 24-hour periods On
all three days.
Traffic will be detoured up Avenue A to
Highway 71, where the two streets join a
short distance east of the Gulf County
Courthouse.
Parrish said only the Container Division
crossing will be re-built at this time.

the toll free service is added to your

I Bet the Indian

Friend of mine this past is, I don't find it so hard to
week was allowing as how I write about some of the
seem to remember so much things that happened around
of what happened around nim me as I was growing up -
so many years ago. Well, I after all, I was there. Then
wasn't sure if he was a'try-.. he asked me what was the
ing to compliment me or was very first memory I have of
just passing the time of day. 'my childhood. Never thought
I thanked him anyway..Fact. about that before.

I was born in a cabin over
by the sawmill. We moved
from there within a year so I
don't remember one thing
from those days. We lived
for a year or two out on the
Gleaspn highway. Don't
remember anything from
there either. We moved into

the house in which my mom
still lives along about 1951.
I've got tons of memories
from that house but the
first one? This is a tough
question! Ive put a lot of
thought into it for the last
couple of days and I think
that I can say with some cer-

d News
get the crossing approved and
finally, to get work started, but
we're grateful it is being done.
The crossing will be the new,
almost bounce-less, rubber instal-
lation which removes virtually all
vibration from railroad crossings.
Now, while it is still fresh on
the minds of DOT, where we are
and how much we need such
amenities, we would be delighted if
they would consider the. same
treath-ent for the 'crbssiTgs on
Highway 71.
If we must wait a while for
them, we're prepared to wait. Just
let us know it's coming and when.
Then we'll leave you alone.

sound her alarm.
We would be willing to wager
that by the time this week's issue is

what happened!
Popsicle had better hold on to
those old two stick wrappers. In all
likelihood the public outcry will make
them revert to the "Classic" popsicle,
and they will need those double
wrappers.
Remember the changing of the
formula of Coke? The soft drink firm
had to start making the old "Classic"
coke once again. People were accus-
tomed to the taste. There are even

those who swear a Coke out of any
other container than the old ten
ounce bottle doesn't taste like a
"Real" Coke.
Popsicle might run into the same
problem. People may rebel at the
single popsicle, saying it doesn't taste
like the old familiar double bar.
According to what I read, the
double bar was a gimmick of the
depression, when a person could buy a
popsicle for a nickel and half it with
,his friend.
Today, the claim (by popsicle) is
that folks think it is too messy, so
we're going to get a singles' version of
popsicles.
IF POPSICLE WAS something
new on the market, they might not
have much trouble re-making the
frozen treat and marketing it in any
manner they desired. But, after 63
years of identification as a double-
stick treat; after 63 years of licking
the excess off one's fingers when the
dividing process was over; after 63
years of having the pop melt in the
summer time before both could be
eaten, it's going to be a shock to the

sensibilities to have all these prob-
lems changed. After so long a time,
what popsicle now views as problems
may have become the accepted
manner and methods of eating a cool
treat.
I'm old enough to remember when
they stopped putting, out the small
cups of ice cream which had both
orange sherbet and vanilla in the
same pack. I suppose it was an
economy move, but the flavor inside
was reduced to only vanilla. Now,
everybody likes vanilla ice cream, if
they like ice cream at all. When they
started leaving the orange sherbet out.
of the pack, the popularity of the small
cup of ice cream vanished. How long
has it been since you saw one of these
dual-flavoreo ice cream packs?
Sara Lee (her firm makes popsi-
cles now) you had better look into this
situation carefully before you start
messing with such a hot item as your
frozen stick of fruit-flavored ice. I
would hate to go popsicle-less for the
rest of my life simply because some
vice-president thought a change was
in order which us popsicle-suckers
didn't feel was necessary.

tainty that the first thing I
remember in my life is a
Calumet Baking Powder
can.
You know, the red labeled
tin can with the Indian on it.
Now, I remember one par-
ticular Calumet Baking
Powder can. My mother cut
out her biscuits with it.
Mother used to set me up on
that old kitchen cabinet and
I'd watch her make those
biscuits. I've never baked a
biscuit in my life but I watch-
ed her enough that by age
four I believe I was near
about an expert in the art of
real biscuit making. The kit-
chen cabinet had that roll out
tin top (white with a red
border) and the right hand
door at the top held Mom's
old wooden dough tray and
rolling pin. I think the dough
tray was a wedding present.
The left hand side of that kit-
chen cabinet was a flour bin
with a built-in sifter.
Mom would get all her
stuff out, pull out that tin top
to give herself more roomin,
set me up on the rolled out
counter top and "me and
her" went to making
biscuits. She'd sift out about
3 cups of flour into that
dough tray, add about % to
%'s cup of buttermilk when
we had it, water when we
didn't, throw in about a teas-

THE STAR. Port St. Joe. Fl.

Doctor In The House
A FEW WEEKS AGO, when this new strain of flu
was at its peak, I was playing Mr. Mom for a few days
and it just so happened that my youngest son contract-
ed a severe case of the bug and was forced to stay home
from school. Between the cleaning, washing and look-
ing after him, I discovered we were in desperate need
of a plumber.
BEING A MAN OF ACTION and with little sense, I
picked up the phone and called our plumber. He
assured me he would be right over. Within the hour he
was knocking on our door.
I explained our problems and asked him if he could
complete the necessary repairs that day. "Well," he
said, looking over the top of his glasses at me, "if the
Lord's a'willin' and the cow don't go dry, I think we can
get it fixed for you." I still don't know what the cow go-
ing dry has to do with repairs to my bathroom plumb-
ing, but I put my faith in him and said for him to go
ahead.
A FEW MINUTES later I noticed he was standing
in front of me with his hands planted firmly on his hips,
staring at me over the top of his glasses. "That boy
down there (Clint was in the den watching T.V. I was
trying to write an article for this paper), he's got a case
of that flu, doesn't he?" It was more a statement than a
question and before I could answer, he continued.
"There ain't no need taking him to the doctor or giving
him any medicine. If you doctor it he'll get over it in
about four weeks; if you let him fight it he'll get well in
about a month. So, what are you going to do?" Another
statement.
"Well, I thought..."
"Ain't but one thing to do," he cut in. "That boy
needs a good dose of sulfur."
"Sulfur?" I asked, unbelieving. "What kind of
sulfur?"
"Pure-T old sulfur that you buy at the drugstore
for about a dollar and a half. That's how much it will
cost you to cure that flu."
"Won't sulfur, pure-T old sulfur, hurt him?" I in-
quired, not really wanting to know any more about it.
"Hurt him?" he stated, acting as if he couldn't,
believe what I had just asked. "Let me tell you about
sulfur. Sulfur is one of the miracle drugs that these doc-
tors and druggists have downplayed because it don't
cost enough and there's plenty of it."
HE WAS ON A ROLL NOW and I knew there was
no need to try and stop him, so I just sat back and
learned a lot about the wonders of sulfur.
"I take sulfur ever fall, and I ain't had a cold in
years. I just mix me a teaspoon with some honey and
eat it right down. Now, if I start feeling a little weak or
tired, I'll take another spoon full in about a month. I1
ain't had a cold in years!"
He was rolling now and there was no stopping him!
"Sulfur," he continued with a missionary's zeal, "will
not only prevent colds but it will also cure sores and in-
fection on the skin. And all it takes is about one teas-
poon a month and you are ip almost perfect health!"
-" I w eaitedtoi ask about cancerand-heart trouble but
I didn't have the chance because he forged into the
animal kingdom. Sulfur, I found, not only is a
"prevent-all" for humans but is very good for the
health of cats and dogs.
IF THE PUBLIC EVER gets wind of this, I
thought, the flea powder and flea collar folks are going
to be in a heap of trouble.
"The way you give it to a dog is mix it with his
food," he said as he looked at me now through the bot-
tom parts of his glasses.
"How about a cat?" I asked, thinking I now had
him on one. "How do you get a cat to eat sulfur?"
"Simple", he said, claiming victory before the
battle was over; "You mix it with bacon grease,
smear the cat with it and the cat will lick it off and
swallow it."
That statement concluded the medical lecture.
Thus ended, he walked to the bathroom, repaired my
leaking faucets, packed his tools and was on his way.
I'VE THOUGHT A LOT about what our plumber
said that day and, for the most part, I believe him. I
have decided, however, if I ever need a doctor or a
veterinarian, I'm going to call one. Taking sulfur
reminds me too much of castor oil and Black Draught.
Our plumber-the doctor!

cheaper than Crisco. I don't

Toll Free Number to Check On Refunds

Florida taxpayers expect-
ing 1985 federal income tax
refund checks can 'ow call a i
toll-free telephone number
for information about their
checks, according to Merlin
W. Heye, Internal Revenue
Service district director for
"Florida.
..; The Automated Refund In-
formation System is avail-
* able to taxpayers who filed
their returns 10 weeks ago
and the system may be
reached by dialing toll-free
1-800W554-4477. Jacksonville
residents may also call 353-
9579. The service is available
weekdays from 7:00 a.m. to
12:00 midnight for taxpayers
with push button phones.
Taxpayers without push but-
ton phones should call be-
tween8:00a.m. and'4:30p.m.
To obtain their refund
information, taxpayers
should be ready to provide
their social security number,
filing status and the amount
of refund they are expecting.
This year approximately
3.5 million Floridians will be
receiving refund checks, and
Heye urged that they not wait
until the last minute to file
their returns. "The sooner
you file, the earlier you can
expect to receive your re-
fund," Heye added.
The IRS reported that by
the end of February 245,000

of the engineers start ringing
the bell' and blowtig -the
horns soon as.they get to
Garrison Avenue. .
Don't you think that since
there is almost no traffic at
3:00a.m. that making all that
noise along the street where
people are trying to sleep is
uncalled for. There are some
people who work shift work
just like the ones who make
all that noise all times of the
night and day and that
happened as recently as
March 11 and February 22 &
23 all at two or three in the
morning. So, again I say
please print this letter and
here's hoping that someone
out there with some authority
will read this and do some-
thing about the horrible
condition we have to live*
under.
SWe along Ave: A and North
Garrison, the new sub-divi-
sion know that ringing bells,
blowing horns and bumping
box cars s unnecessary all
times of the night when there
is a signal light just like the
one on 98. If someone can't
see all those red lights, that
noise won't help.
Truly yours,
.Ernest Longmire

the first words thlt I ever
spoke were "Mom, why are
there holes in the end of the
can?"
"They let the air out, son."
I know that some good
cooks "choke" their dough
off with their hands and
others take a spoon and drop
their dough onto the baking
pan but the absolute best
cook I ever saw cut her bis-
cuits out with a Calumet
Baking Powder can.
We'd lay our cut out dough
on that old flat iron skillet
and soon we'd have dozen
or so real biscuits. Break-
fast anyone?
I got so caught up in this
story that I dropped by the
store on my way home to see
if they still make Calumet
Baking Powder. I bought a
small can for $1.27. I know
my mother's can was bigger
than this. I called home. "Hi
Mom, how big was that old
Calumet can we used to
make biscuits with, and how
much did a can cost back
then?"
"I don't remember what it
cost son, but just a minute -
I'll get the can."
Respectfully,

ASTIGMATISM
The actual cause of astig-
matism-a distortion of vi-
sion which makes it difficult
to focus clearly on an ob-
ject-is complicated, but
there are several factors
which make seeing even
more distorted for the
astigmatic patient. Thy in-
clude:
*.Poor posture (slouching,
holding the head in one's
hand, etc.)
* Using too many head, neck
and body movements when
looking at objects.
* Stress caused by intense,
prolonged periods of close
vision tasks.
Astigmatism can be cor-
rected by properly prescrib-
ed lenses. A structured pro-
gram of correcting postural
defects and wearing 'stress
relieving glasses" for
reading may sometimes
clear up small amounts of
astigmatism entirely,
especially in children. It is
preferable to correct
astigmatism at the earliest
possible age.

There are steps a person
can take to ensure that his or
her earnings are correctly
reported. First, the person
should make sure that his or
her employer copies his or
her. Social Security number
and name just as they are
shown on the Social Security
card. Do not rely on memory
when giving the number.
, A person should also report
any changes in his or her
name to any Social Security
office.
,'Another precaution a per-
son can take is to check his or
her Social Security record
every three years or so. This
is especially important if the

person holds more than one
job or changes jobs often,. '
A free form can be obtain-
ed at any Social Security
office just for this purpose,
All a person has to do is fill it
out and mail it. In return, he
or she will receive a state-
ment of the earnings shown
on his or her Social Security
record.

This information should be
checked against the person's
own records, such as Forms

any discrepancy, the person
should take all available
information about the earn-
ings to any Social Security
office. The people there will
help get the matter straight-
ened out.

completely handcuffed by-

number of Floridians who
live in mobile home parks,
apartments and condomin-
iums, where there's little or
no backyard to be had.
Just because you don't,
have a big yard with lots of
room, doesn't mean you can't
grow vegetables. In fact, you
can enjoy working with a
strawberry barrel or ahalf
dozen plants as much as any
backyard garden. My infor-
mation for this article was;
provided by vegetable spe-
cialist, Jim Stephens, of the.
University of Florida's Insti-
tute of Food and Agricultural
Sciences.
In addition to being an
enjoyable activity, mini-gar-
dening is both practical and
ornamental. Containers fit
almost anywhere in the land-:'
scape, on patios, porches,
and balconies, even rooftops.:
Depending on the type of
vegetables you plan to grow,
there's practically no limit to"'
the kinds of containers you
can use, pots and pans, milk
jugs, hollow concrete blocks,
bushel baskets, trash cans,
barrels,. drums, and even
plastic bags. Just be sure the
container, yod choose will
hold the soil in and let excess .
water drain out.
Once you have selected a
container and have decided
\hat to grow, it's time to
think about a growing med-
ium. You can plant in either

such as I have mentioned, ist
quite different from the
methods used with soil mixed
or in backyard gardens. Soil
substitutes are porous and
don't hold moisture or nutri-
ents very long. Using such
media, you need water and
fertilizer often.
Normally, drench the' con-
tainei with a nutrient solu-
tion once or twice a day as
many as five times a day if
it's especially hot and dry.
The soil mixes we mention-

ed earlier have plenty of
organic matter and' some
fertilizer, usually retain
moisture well. They don't
need such frequent watering
and fertilization. You can
maintain a normal garden
watering schedule, and add
fertilizer every week or two.
You can drench with a
soluble fertilizer, or spread
common, dry fertilizer on the.
soil surface and water it
thoroughly into the root zone.
Just don't apply too much, or

you may cause fertilizer
burn. Regardless of your
method, follow the fertilizer
label directions
If you want to grow vege-
tables, but are cramped for
space, give mini-gardening a
try. We think you will enjoy it
both i the activity and the
produce.
